Say what you want about Kim Jong Il, but dammit, the man makes a point. Breitbart reports:

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il was outraged at the hairdos while watching a university match and ordered all men to go clean-cut

“What kind of haircuts are these? If things are like this, you cannot tell whether this is a men’s football match or women’s,” Kim said angrily.

I wonder if right after he said that, a bunch of his yes men started laughing and he was like “I’m not making a joke!” Then one of them was like “Terribly sorry sir, we assumed because of the ridiculous nature of your hair cut that you were making an ironic jo… (silence fills the room, no eye contact is made with the speaker)…terribly sorry sir. I should probably go feed myself to pigs huh? I’ll go do that now. Thanks for everything. I had a good run.”

See, I don’t think it’s so much that he hates people with long hair, I just think he realizes long hair was so early 90s. He’s nothing if not up with the trends. For instance, take a look at this picture of him right after the first House Party film became popular.
